| Rep. DeLay Admits to 'All Specific Charges' |
| 2005-10-02 |
| Scrappleface, natch. by Scott Ott (2005-09-30) -- Rep. Tom DeLay, R-TX, who yesterday stepped down as House Majority Leader after a Texas grand jury indicted him, today confessed that he had "committed every specific offense enumerated in the indictment." The three page 'bill of indictment' contains the specific allegation that the Texas lawmaker waived his right to avoid prosecution under the law. Texas law requires that an indictment for criminal conspiracy be presented within three years of the alleged offense, but this one missed the deadline by 15 days. "I cannot tell a lie," said Mr. DeLay, "I knowingly waived my right to legally dodge prosecution. Since I did this on the advice of my attorney, I guess that's what you call your criminal conspiracy. I feel dirty." |

| #4 Delay did in fact admit to the transfer of money through the RNC. Everyone is going to find out this is not a crime and that the Democrats do EXACTLY the same thing. How come no conspiracy complaint on the Dem leader? Oh that right it's only a crime to beat Democrats. |

| #3 Yeah Frank, but Ronnie let the Hollyweird boys film the whole thing, so I'm sure he'll get a lot of royalties. |

| #2 a liar, cheat, dishonest? Nice charges from a cowardly anonymous nymhole. Watch when all charges are dropped in front of an impartial (read not Ronnie Earle) judge. Earle needs to have all power taken away |
